hi, i got a price on +1mm forged pistons for a l20b motor , and th e guy
quoted me $1400, yeah right, the guy seemed a wanker,saying that forged
pistons are the only way to go, ESPECIALLY for a turbo.
i spoke to a guy in queensland who ONLY DOES TURBO STUFF and when i asked
him about using forged pistons, he said f**K that, he has never used forged
pistons, and at the moment he said he was doing a v8 ford with twin turbos
using CAST pistons.....
my setup is : z2.4 crank, l20b block,z24 head,microtech digi 1,to3 turbo,
and programmable ignition and CAST pistons ,which i am definately using.
he said the that u have to be very carefull about leaning out the fuel mix,
(as with any car) if its too lean it will damage the pisons , and a
forged set will last about 7 seconds longer than cast if the motor is
leaned out.
